List of beers pouring at Everett Craft Beer Fest

The Everett Craft Beer Festival is set for Saturday, Aug. 16 and will feature 32 breweries pouring over 100 different beers in downtown Everett. The third annual festival is from noon to 7 p.m. and will take place on Hoyt between Hewitt and Pacific.

Advance tickets are $20 and can be purchased on Brown Paper Tickets or $25 at the door ($15 with military ID). Entry includes a tasting cup and six tokens, each one good for a 5-ounce taster. Additional tokens can be purchased for $1.50 each or four for $5.

This year’s festival will focus on fruit beers, with a number of breweries bringing beers brewed with raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

“It’s a chance for brewers to be experimental,” said Matt Russell, the Washington Beer Commission director of festival operations. “Fruit beers are an opportunity for guys to use fresh ingredients and make beers that stand out.”

A few of the fruit beers that stick out include Valholl’s Crimson Cove Smoked Cherry Rye, North Sound’s Mango Hopsolute IPA and Fremont’s Raspberry Infused Dark Star.

Here’s a look at the breweries coming to the Everett Craft Beer Fest and what they’ll be pouring:

1. American Session Ale: Citra and Amarillo hops give this refreshing pale ale the aroma of fresh squeezed oranges. Crisp and light in body, this beer is easy to drink and pairs well with sunshine. 4.5 percent, 33 IBU. 2. The American Blonde: A golden blonde ale with delicate hop notes and a citrus aroma. Crisp and dry with a slight bubbliness from carbonation. Light and refreshing. 4.5 percent, 16 IBU.

1. FiFI: FiFI is a fruit-infused beer brewed with dual infusions both post-boil and post-fermentation. There is no mistaking what load this beer has in its bay. A special debut and first offering for the 3rd Annual Everett Craft Beer Festival by Beta Brewing.

2. Hedge Hopper Ale: Hedge Hopper Ale is inspired by the barnstorming builders and flyers in the early years of civil aviation. This beer is brewed using traditional methods and fermented with a distinctive yeast and contains a large portion of wheat. Hedge Hopper Ale is a beer of golden haze, smooth body, and an ever-changing array of flavors including anise, orange, bubblegum, banana, clove, and hints of guava.

1. Blonde Ale: Based on a pre-Prohibition era lager recipe, this one is surprisingly complex despite being one of our lightest beers. Wheat, corn, flaked barley and malted barley all lend their respective goodness. 4.2 percent, 13 IBU.

2. Rye Knot? Just ‘cause we felt like it! Call it a “Rye-P-A” if you must; this deliciously hoppy pale ale has just enough Rye malt to let you know it’s there. Cascade, Amarillo and Chinook hops round out the bitterness component. 7.1 percent, 50 IBU.

3. Fog Bank Fall Ale: Reddish amber in color, this ale has a bright, crisp flavor with a complex malty body. Domestic Hallertauer hops lend a slightly spicy, herbal finish. Get it while you can, it’s only around for a short time. 5.8 percent, 25 IBU.

1. Burn Ban Porter: A throwback to the ways Porter used to be made. The grain is smoked over a special blend of fruit woods to give the beer a unique taste not found in other Porters. Enjoy this with a thick New York Strip and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. 6 percent

2. Triple IPA: A play on our Centennial IPA recipe, this one packs a punch. For the true Northwest IPA lover we did our best to balance the amount of hops to give you the fruity taste with a smooth finish. Weighing in over 9 percent, be careful of how many you have of these in the hot sun. 9.3 percent.

3. Red Door Raspberry Hefeweizen: Using raspberries and raspberry honey from our local farms, we’ve crafted a beer perfect for reminiscing about the summer. Balancing the tartness of the berries and the sweetness of the honey, we’ve found the middle of the road making an extremely drinkable brew.

1. Night Owl Pumpkin Ale: Night Owl is brewed with over 7 pounds of pumpkin per barrel and includes seven different malt varieties, green and roasted pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin in the mash, boil and fermenter. Bittered with Magnum hops and spiced in conditioning with nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, ginger and allspice. 5.9 percent.

2. Space Dust: A totally nebular IPA. Great Western premium two-row, combined with c-15 and Dextri-Pils, give this beer a bright and galactic Milky Way hue. The hopping is pure starglow energy, with Chinook to bitter and late and dry additions of Citra and Amarillo. Space Dust is out of this world 7.2 percent, 62 IBU.

3. Perfesser: Mis Scarlet has had one too many. We suspect the brewers, with plums and brettanomyces, Marris-Otter pale, Munich and wheat, and East Kent Goldings to bitter and finish. 6.35 percent.

1. Huckleberry Hound Cream Ale: Traditional English cream ale conditioned with wild huckleberries from the Fn Huckleberry Plantation. The smooth crispness of the cream ale is matched ever so delicately with the tartness of the wild red huckleberries. 5.2 percent, 18 IBU. 2. Morning Wood: Traditional English Special Bitter aged in French Oak. This exceptional well balanced Special Bitter is taken to a whole new level with a slight wood character that enhances the nice dry finish. 4.3 percent, 38 IBU.

1. Noble Hop Extra Pale Ale: Old world meets new in this internationally inspired beer with a local twist. We used Noble Hops, Saaz and Hallertau, grown right here in our backyard, the Yakima Valley. The beer has four kettle hop additions, and is finished with dry-hopping. This golden-hued beer reveals a classic Noble-hop aroma with a crisp finish. 6 percent.

1. Mango Weizen: Mango-Weizen is an unfiltered Wheat beer that has components of both American and Bavarian styles. Fresh Mango puree is added during cold conditioning, which creates a subtle flavor in the background and keeps this beer from not being too sweet. Pairs well with BBQ. 5.3 percent, 15 IBU.

2. 3 Skulls Blood Orange Wit: Blood Orange Wit is a true Belgian-style White beer brewed with German wheat and pilsner malt along with rolled oats for a palette-filling experience while still being refreshing. Banana, spice, and citrus notes come from a strongly flavored Belgian yeast strain, two different types of orange peel, and hand crushed coriander. 5.5 percent, 20 IBU.

1. Zippy Lemon Ale: Our Zippy Lemon Ale is as unique as its Zippy the Pinhead namesake. A Belgian Style brew, this beer starts with a high gravity wheat ale grist, and uses Czech Saaz hops for an herbal character. Fermented with genuine Abbey Yeast, Zippy has a fruity aroma and finishes with a lemon flavor. Slightly hazy, lemony and tart. 7.2 percent, 25 IBU.

2. Plant 1 Powerhouse: This beer is a tribute to the historical significance of this Northwest treasure. It has a big malt profile, bittered with Columbus Hops and finished with Cascades to give a slightly floral and “piney” flavor profile. An iconic beer giving tribute to an iconic part of our history. The Plant 1 Powerhouse at Snoqualmie Falls has been powering the Northwest since 1898, and has just been renovated to power us into the future. 7.5 percent, 85 IBU.

1. Wicked Riff IPA: TBB’s IPA is malted towards the dry side, making it quite quaffable rather than malty and hard to get through. It is quite pale in color and has a slightly toasted malt character. Five different hops are used during the brewing and dry-hopping for this IPA, giving it a moderately complex aroma with strong citrus and floral notes. 6.9 percent.

2. Turnaround NW Red: Northwest Red Ale is copper going on ruby red, with a slightly sweeter feel than the rest of our beers. The malt gives the beer a pleasant medium caramel flavor. Six different hops are used in this beer, including Chinook which adds a Northwest outdoors pine aroma, a strong homage to the style. 5.7 percent.

3. Fresh Hop IPA: This super seasonal IPA is a Two Beers tradition not to be missed. A brewery-wide road trip provides us with some of the first hops of the Yakima Valley hop harvest. The result is an intoxicatingly aromatic IPA that’s new and exciting every year. 6.2 percent, 70 IBU.

1. Summertime Weizen: The Summertime Weizen is a light and refreshing traditional German wheat-based ale. Best enjoyed in the heat of summer. 5.0 percent.

2. Warehouse Farmhouse Saison: Pilsner and acidulated malts team up with UK and Slovenian hops and French Saison yeast to produce this brilliantly golden amber ale with a distinctive tart sourness. 5.7 percent.

Whitewall Brewing, Marysville

1. Rubus Robustus Blackberry Stout: Not your typical fruit beer; imagine a beer brewed by your favorite coffee company only better. Locally sourced blackberries (grown in the brewer’s back yard) added at the end of the boil to impart slight berry flavor and a tart finish. Also added blackberry essence from Northwest Naturals to impart even more blackberry aroma. Wonderful roasty notes are complimented by slight blackberry aroma and flavor. 6.8 percent.

2. Founders Tripel: This beer is a collaboration of Whitewalls’ Founders Club members. The members choose the style and will name the beer. This beer was brewed with pilsner malt and a touch of Vienna malt for interest and color. Locally sourced honey was added in place of the traditional Belgian candi sugar and High Gravity Trappist yeast was used for fermentation. It begins with a fruity nose, reminiscent of stone fruit and honey, followed by the same subtle flavors, balanced with the pilsner and Vienna malt and a smooth alcohol warmth. 8.5 percent.

3. Conundrum Wheat IPA: Over 60 percent malted and flaked wheat is blended with two-row malt. Conundrum is an unfiltered wheat ale fermented with American wheat yeast. Mosaic hops were used exclusively as flavor and aroma hops. Notes of grapefruit, pineapple, banana and tropical fruits. Contrary to what your tongue tells you, there is no fruit in this beer. 7.3 percent.
